Allowing LLDB to resolve names of Python functions when they are located in classes
This allows things like *bound* classmethods to be used for formatters, commands, ...
llvm-svn: 183772
Upon encountering an object not of type string, LLDB will get the string representation of it (akin to calling str(X) in Python code) and use that as the summary to display
Feedback is welcome as to whether repr() should be used instead (but the argument for repr() better be highly persuasive :-)

Python breakpoint actions can return False to say that they don't want to stop at the breakpoint to which they are associated
Almost all of the work to support this notion of a breakpoint callback was in place, but two small moving parts were missing:
a) the SWIG wrapper was not checking the return value of the script
b) when passing a Python function by name, the call statement was dropping the return value of the function
This checkin addresses both concerns and makes this work
Care has been taken that you only keep running when an actual value of False has been returned, and that any other value (None included) means Stop!

SWIG is smart enough to recognize that C++ operators == and != mean __eq__ and __ne__ in Python and do the appropriate translation
But it is not smart enough to recognize that mySBObject == None should return False instead of erroring out
The %pythoncode blocks are meant to provide those extra smarts (and they play some SWIG&Python magic to find the right function to call behind the scenes with no risk of typos :-)
Lastly, SBBreakpoint provides an == but never provided a != operator - common courtesy is to provide both

finish-swig-Python-LLDB.sh to create a new lldb.diagnose subdirectory
in the LLDB framework; the first diagnostic command in this directory
is diagnose-unwind. There may be others added in the future.
Users can load these diagnostic tools into their session with
"script import lldb.diagnose".

Introducing a negative cache for ObjCLanguageRuntime::LookupInCompleteClassCache()
This helps speed up the (common) case of us looking for classes that are hidden deep within Cocoa internals and repeatedly failing at finding type information for them.
In order for this to work, we need to clean this cache whenever debug information is added. A new symbols loaded event is added that is triggered with add-dsym (before modules loaded would be triggered for both adding modules and adding symbols).
Interested parties can register for this event. Internally, we make sure to clean the negative cache whenever symbols are added.
Lastly, ClassDescriptor::IsTagged() has been refactored to GetTaggedPointerInfo() that also (optionally) returns info and value bits. In this way, data formatters can share tagged pointer code instead of duplicating the required arithmetic.

Making value objects properly iterable in constructs of the form
[ x for x in value_with_children ]
This would previously cause an endless loop because lacking a proper iterator object, Python will keep calling __getitem__() with increasing values of the index until it gets an IndexError
since SBValue::GetValueForExpressionPath() supports synthetic array members, no array index will ever really cause an IndexError to be raised, hence the endless iteration
class value_iter is an implementation of __iter__() that provides a terminating iterator over a value

It is replaced by a Print("str") call which is equivalent to Printf("%s","str")
- Providing file-like behavior for SBStream with appropriate extension write() and flush() calls, plus documenting that these are only meant and only exist for Python
Documenting the file-like behavior on our website
llvm-svn: 177877
Exports write() and flush() from SBCommandReturnObject to enable file-like output from Python commands.
e.g.:
def ls(debugger, command, result, internal_dict):
print >>result,”just “some output”
will produce
(lldb) ls
just “some output
(lldb)

"compile_units" returns an array of all compile units in a module as a list() of lldb.SBCompileUnit objects.
"compile_unit" returns a compile unit accessor object that allows indexed access, search by full or partial path, or by regex:
(lldb) script
comp_unit = lldb.target.module['TextEdit'].compile_unit['Document.m']
comp_unit = lldb.target.module['TextEdit'].compile_unit['/path/to/Document.m']
comp_unit = lldb.target.module['TextEdit'].compile_unit[0]
comp_unit = lldb.target.module['TextEdit'].compile_unit[1]
for comp_unit in lldb.target.module['TextEdit'].compile_unit[re.compile("\.m$")]
print comp_unit
This helps do quick searches and scripting while debugging.

Major fixed to allow reading files that are over 4GB. The main problems were that the DataExtractor was using 32 bit offsets as a data cursor, and since we mmap all of our object files we could run into cases where if we had a very large core file that was over 4GB, we were running into the 4GB boundary.
So I defined a new "lldb::offset_t" which should be used for all file offsets.
After making this change, I enabled warnings for data loss and for enexpected implicit conversions temporarily and found a ton of things that I fixed.
Any functions that take an index internally, should use "size_t" for any indexes and also should return "size_t" for any sizes of collections.

Added the ability for OS plug-ins to lazily populate the thread this. The python OS plug-in classes can now implement the following method:
class OperatingSystemPlugin:
def create_thread(self, tid, context):
# Return a dictionary for a new thread to create it on demand
This will add a new thread to the thread list if it doesn't already exist. The example code in lldb/examples/python/operating_system.py has been updated to show how this call us used.
Cleaned up the code in PythonDataObjects.cpp/h:
- renamed all classes that started with PythonData* to be Python*.
- renamed PythonArray to PythonList. Cleaned up the code to use inheritance where
- Centralized the code that does ref counting in the PythonObject class to a single function.
- Made the "bool PythonObject::Reset(PyObject *)" function be virtual so each subclass can correctly check to ensure a PyObject is of the right type before adopting the object.
- Cleaned up all APIs and added new constructors for the Python* classes to they can all construct form:
- PyObject *
- const PythonObject &
- const lldb::ScriptInterpreterObjectSP &
Cleaned up code in ScriptInterpreterPython:
- Made calling python functions safer by templatizing the production of value formats. Python specifies the value formats based on built in C types (long, long long, etc), and code often uses typedefs for uint32_t, uint64_t, etc when passing arguments down to python. We will now always produce correct value formats as the templatized code will "do the right thing" all the time.
- Fixed issues with the ScriptInterpreterPython::Locker where entering the session and leaving the session had a bunch of issues that could cause the "lldb" module globals lldb.debugger, lldb.target, lldb.process, lldb.thread, and lldb.frame to not be initialized.

Adding FindFirstGlobalVariable to SBModule and SBTarget
These calls work like FindGlobalVariables but they only return the first match found and so they can return an SBValue instead of an SBValueList for added convenience of use
llvm-svn: 172636
Added a unique integer identifier to processes. Some systems, like JTAG or other simulators, might always assign the same process ID (pid) to the processes that are being debugged. In order for scripts and the APIs to uniquely identify the processes, there needs to be another ID. Now the SBProcess class has:
uint32_t SBProcess::GetUniqueID();
This integer ID will help to truly uniquely identify a process and help with appropriate caching that can be associated with a SBProcess object.

controlled by the --unwind-on-error flag, and --ignore-breakpoint which separately controls behavior when a called
function hits a breakpoint. For breakpoints, we don't unwind, we either stop, or ignore the breakpoint, which makes
more sense.
Also make both these behaviors globally settable through "settings set".
Also handle the case where a breakpoint command calls code that ends up re-hitting the breakpoint. We were recursing
and crashing. Now we just stop without calling the second command.

Added SBTarget::EvaluateExpression() so expressions can be evaluated without needing a process.
Also fixed many functions that deal with clang AST types to be able to properly handle the clang::Type::Elaborated types ("struct foo", "class bar").

Added a "step-in-target" flag to "thread step-in" so if you have something like:
Process 28464 stopped
* thread #1: tid = 0x1c03, function: main , stop reason = breakpoint 1.1
frame #0: 0x0000000100000e08 a.out`main at main.c:62
61
-> 62 int A6 = complex (a(4), b(5), c(6)); // Stop here to step targetting b and hitting breakpoint.
63
and you want to get into "complex" skipping a, b and c, you can do:
(lldb) step -t complex
Process 28464 stopped
* thread #1: tid = 0x1c03, function: complex , stop reason = step in
frame #0: 0x0000000100000d0d a.out`complex at main.c:44
41
42 int complex (int first, int second, int third)
43 {
-> 44 return first + second + third; // Step in targetting complex should stop here
45 }
46
47 int main (int argc, char const *argv[])
